You will lose some wet and icy weather traction using the Pilot Alpins instead of Arctic Alpins, but they're still amazing. You'd have to be doing something pretty stupid to notice things around corners and such, but with 2 identical cars coming off a traffic light turning green, the one with Arctic Alpins on a snowy or wet day will pull about 1/2 a car length ahead by the time you get through the intersection. Mind you, the guy with all seasons will still be 2-3 car lengths back. I think the Pilot Alpins are geared towards 'Vettes and Porsches. No reason why you can't use them on your car though. I believe they are good to about 130mph.
